Hospital Expansion

Please get in touch with our Executive Director, Charlene Giovannetti-King at charlene@erhf.ca for full details.

LEGENDARY CARE | WE DESERVE IT

The expansion of Eagle Ridge Hospital will transform health care in our community at all levels – from emergency and acute care to medical consultation, treatment and preventive services. Our growing community deserves the best health care today, in addition to solutions for urgent and future health care challenges. Eagle Ridge Hospital has a strong reputation rooted in our history – one that is compassionate in its approach while delivering best-in-class care. Let’s continue this legacy.

Legendary Care. We Deserve It.

Our Emergency Department has reached a critical stage:

Our infrastructure is aging and cannot meet current and projected health care demands

The population served in the Tri-Cities is rapidly growing

Medical equipment and technologies keep advancing medical practices

Opened in 1988 to treat 20,000 patients, today it serves close to 53,000 per year (20% of whom are children)

Coupled with our vision for an expanded Emergency Department is the expansion of our Cardiology and Community Out-Patient Services Departments.

WHY IS THIS NEEDED?

Population growth continues

One entry for ambulances and walk-ins

Insufficient waiting room spaces

Treatment spaces lack of privacy

No negative pressure isolation rooms

Insufficient safe, secure care spaces for psychiatric/substance use

Insufficient decontamination space

Resuscitation space is visible to other patients

Design and layout are inadequate

Insufficient space for pre-triage, ambulance, police and patients

Lack of private washrooms

Three cardiologists serve a growing cardiac care program

WHAT IS GOING TO BE BETTER?

Increased patient and service capacity

Separate entry for ambulances and walk-ins

Three patient waiting areas, with a dedicated family and child centered space
